Psalms 75
75
A Cup in God’s Hand
To the Pure and Shining One
Asaph’s poetic song To the tune of “Do Not Destroy”
1God, our hearts spill over with praise to you!
We overflow with thanks, for your name is the “Near One.”
All we want to talk about is your wonderful works!
And we hear your reply:
2“When the time is ripe I will arise,
and I will judge the world with perfect righteousness.
3Though I have set the earth firmly on its pillars,
I will shake it until it totters, and everyone’s hearts will tremble.”
Pause in his presence
4God warns the proud, “Stop your arrogant boasting!”
And he warns the wicked,
“Don’t think for a moment you can resist me!
5Why would you speak with such stubborn pride?
Don’t you dare raise your fist against me!”
6-7This I know:
the favor that brings promotion and power
doesn’t come from anywhere on earth,
for no one exalts a person but God, the true judge of all.
He alone determines where favor rests.
He anoints one for greatness
and brings another down to his knees.
8A foaming cup filled with judgment mixed with fury
is in the hands of the Lord Yahweh,
full to the brim and ready to run over.
He filled it up for the wicked, and they will drink it
down to the very last drop!
9But I will proclaim the victory of the God of Jacob.
My melodies of praise will make him known.
10My praises will break the powers of wickedness,
while the righteous will be promoted and become powerful!

PSALM 75.
1Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians.
2In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.
3And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
4There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.
5Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
6All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
7At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
8Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
9Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
10When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
11For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
12Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
13even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
